About
I’m Aran Tharaka Fernando, a Sri Lankan classical guitarist, composer, and university lecturer with over 12 years of professional experience. My work blends advanced instrumental technique with a strong focus on performance psychology, music theory, and everyday practice discipline—so students and audiences both get the most out of every note.
Alongside teaching at SLTC Research University, I perform as a resident classical guitarist at Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo, where I deliver polished performances for premium international guests and adapt repertoire to suit different commercial environments. I also work independently as a guitarist, composer, and collaborator—tracking, arranging, and creating original instrumental pieces while partnering with artists across mainstream and experimental productions.
